HOLTZMANN FACTORY ADDITION.
[Special to The Review.]
Columbus, O., Oct. 5, 1903.
Henry Holtzmann & Sons, who have
built up the largest piano stool business in
the world, are now rushing forward to com-
pletion two immense factory additions. Mr.
Frank Holtzmann, who has the matter di-
rectly in charge, has designed the plant,
and is now superintending the erection of
these two structures. When the new build-
ing is completed.it will largely augment the

SOMETHING OF THE SMITH SANDER.
For the reason that sanders of the past are
said to be unable to sand veneers, either be-
fore or after gluing to the backing, some
piano manufacturers are reported as putting
in scraping machines to do this work. Now,
it is claimed that the sander made by the H.
B. Smith Machine Co. is an entirely different
device; as it will not only do the work
smoother, better and in greater quantity, but
the Smith machine can be used on short,
flat, narrow stock, as well as on raised panels,

competent judges. The latest illustrations
